A 100% Refund Option will be Offered toMost California Conceptions Program Patients

Fertility treatments can become very expensive, and in many cases, the high cost of these treatments can prevent patients from achieving their dreams of having a baby. The California Conceptions Donor Embryo Program offers excellent chances of success at very affordable prices using donated embryos. We are so confident in our ability to get women pregnant with this program, we are offering most participants a 100% refund of services provided in the event a pregnancy does not progress beyond 12 weeks. Most refund plans cost much more than treatments without a refund, but not ours. Patients that are eligible for the 100% refund plan will pay the clinic at flat fee for up to three embryo transfer procedures.

Genetic Screening (PGS / CCS) Refund

Due to the higher costs associated with PGS, the refund option will not be a 100% refund. The program will offer three transfers using one embryo for each try. After three unsuccessful attempts, patients will receive a refund as outlined by the pricing agreement. The same refund eligibility terms and conditions will apply.

Eligibility for Refund

Eligible patients will receive one or two donated embryos per transfer. If a pregnancy does not result after the first transfer, there are two more opportunities for pregnancy to occur. After the third transfer, if a pregnancy has not progressed beyond 12 weeks, the patient will receive a full refund of the program fee. Some patients may elect to complete an additional three transfers if their first three tries to become pregnant are not successful. The refund option is lost when selecting an additional three transfers, but patients are able to have up to 6 transfers for the same initial flat fee. This program really takes away the financial risks of fertility treatments. Of course, medication costs, travel expenses, outside monitoring and blood tests will not be reimbursed. Patients should expect medications to cost between $800 and $1000 per transfer unless their insurance benefits will cover medication costs. We are not able to accept insurance for our services as part of the refund plan.

To be eligible for the donated embryo guarantee option, you must meet all of the following requirements:

54 years of age or younger

BMI (body mass index) less than 28

Any factors determined by our physicians that would interupt or hinder a pregnancy

A saline contrast sonography or hysteroscopy must be performed at California IVF before a patient’s first embryo transfer to assess the patient’s uterus for any abnormalities that may hinder or interupt a pregnancy with donated embryos

Uterine lining evaluation after estrogen treatment, but before progesterone, must be performed at California IVF

Success With or Without a Refund

A committee consisting of our physicians, embryologists, and practice administrator will determine final eligibility for the donor embryo refund program. Please note that there will be no exceptions made once a patients eligibility for a refund is determined. Patients who do not qualify for the refund option can still move forward with treatment and will be offered the same low price for up to three embryo transfers. Patients not using the refund option receive the same treatment and embryos as when the guarantee option is used.

Additional Attempts

The refund option will offer patients the option to have the program cost refunded 100% after the third unsuccessful transfer. An alternative to receiving the refund, patients may elect to enroll in the program a second time. In essence, the patient receives the refund and signs up for the program again. The PGS program does not refund 100% of the cost and would require an additional payment to supplement the refund. Patients would then have another three transfers, but patients will not be eligible for the refund option a second time. In the absence of uterine abnormalities, it is very rare for patients to not have a successful pregnancy beyond 12 weeks.

Higher Chances and Less Stress

When faced with lower chances of pregnancy, patients often face more expensive treatments. Treatment options using donor eggs and donor sperm can become very costly without any option for a guarantee. Often after unsuccessful IVF treatments, the cause of treatment failure isn’t clear. The problem may come from the sperm, eggs, or both. At this point, many people turn to adoption. While adoption can offer an excellent alternative to expensive fertility treatments, most patients quickly find that affordable adoption opportunities are limited, or the criteria are very restrictive. Pregnancy with donor embryos is very effective and in most cases, patients can have the added security of having the program costs refunded if a pregnancy does not result from treatment.
